Zombies of Mora Tau (1957)

A team is planning to go diving for the diamonds which remain inside a sunken ship. The problem is that the coveted stones are being guarded by the zombified remnants of the ship's crew. The ship captain's wife has moved to the vicinities of the shipwreck, to be near her "unlate" husband and hopefully to deliver him from that undignified condition.

If you are into bad movies, this is for you. There are plenty of script absurdities to relish with, and plenty of atmosphere too: the pervading atmosphere of amateurish or rushed filmmaking, that is. The Dictionary of Film Directors by Jean Tulard (which I bought for the Brazilian titles of films and no other reason), says this is a good film, though.
